Summary
A sticky layer stays pressed until another key is pressed. By using a sticky layer, you don't have to hold the layer key to access a layer. Instead, tap the sticky layer key to activate the layer until the next keypress.
By default, sticky layers stay pressed for a second if you don't press any other key. You can configure this with the release-after-ms setting (see below).
Behavior Binding
- Reference:
&sl - Parameter #1: The layer to activate , e.g.
1
Example:
&sl 1
Configuration
You can configure a different release-after-ms in your keymap:
&sl {
release-after-ms = <2000>;
};
/ {
keymap {
...
};
};
Advanced usage
Sticky layers behave slightly different from sticky keys. They are configured to quick-release. This means that the layer is released immediately when another key is pressed. "Normal" sticky keys are not quick-release; they are released when the next key is released. This makes it possible to combine sticky layers and sticky keys as such: tap &sl 1, tap &sk LSHIFT on layer 1, tap &kp A on base layer to output shift+A.
Comparison to QMK
In QMK, sticky layers are known as 'one shot layers'.
